4 weeks out...eating too much?



Recommended Posts

I can eat a whole egg with a sprinkle of cheese for Breakfast. lunch is a Protein shake. And dinner say half a can of salmon with mayo and a slice of avocado. I'm sure this is between 500-600 calories a day. During the liquid phase I was having 320 calories a day and felt faint a few times.

Some people say they are stuffed after 2-3 bites or want to vomit. But I dont.

We do need some calories...right?

That doesn't sound like too much to me. In fact, it may be too little pretty soon. My daily calories hover between 700-1000, my Protein 70-100 grams, and my fluids 70-100 ounces. (Wow, I just noticed that all my ranges look the same!) It seems to be working. I feel good and have lost 80 pounds in four months. Good luck, you'll figure it out.

Sounds good to me too.

I was eating about that much 4 weeks out. I can remember having the same question... Is this too much. No.... You'll see once you start eating more dense foods your capacity will change depending on the foods. Hang in there. I'm 8.5 weeks and i'm delighted with the amount of foods i can eat and how much healthier i feel.

Welcome to the loosers bench.

I can have about 3 cups of creamy and mushy Soups a day. 1 cup at a time. 2 puddings. 2 jellos and 2 Popsicles. I'm even ok eating a whole oatmeal but that takes me about 30 min

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
